Here's a Super Course, circa 1970? I picked it up in May, and built it for a gravel ride I did in June. I put 700 wheels and have Continental Speed Kings, 35 mm which is the absolute widest I can run. We spread the rear to 130.
I also put on the triple from my 1986 Raleigh Aleyska, and 8 speed in the back.
The ride was 3 days, 235 miles, about half gravel, 10,000+ feet of elevation over the trip. We rode from Marion, Iowa across the Mississippi, and finished in Devil's Lake Wisconsin.
It was the 80th anniversary of a similar ride done by the "Iowa Mountaineers" in 1943, where they then climbed the bluffs over the lake, and rode home. We did the recreation as part of a documentary film project on the Mountaineers.
The original riders on the 1943 trip are shown below.

'71 SC I scored earlier this year. PO campy'd it up but was needing a resto. Replaced the early Phil Woods sealed bb with another PW, so the ride is sweet.

also, it rides on 700c red tag Fiamme tubular 40 spoke rear rim, unknown 36 spoke front rim tubular. Both have Campagnolo record hubs/skewers. Crank has been upgraded to Campagnolo Strava. I love it.
